Beyonce has been talking about her new album, 'B'Day', and how her boyfriend Jay-Z has influenced it. She says his approach to recording inspired her to work with the many different producers who will be credited on the new long player. "They usually have a bunch of producers in the studio at one time in different rooms," she said. "They get this positive competitive energy going. I rented the studio and had different producers in three different rooms. It was so much fun and no pressure."
Beyonce has also explained that Jay Z was not originally intended to appear on single release 'Deja Vu': "but once he heard it, I saw his lips start moving. So I was like, 'Would you like to go into the studio and record what you just did?' Now we joke about how we're going to have enough songs to put out a little compilation record."
The album is out on 4 Sep.
